4 Nice (if you have a car)
If you have a car (as this place is quite a bit outside of Te Anau) and are looking for a nice place to stay in Te Anau: that is it! It was so cute there: The main building with the two fire places, a spotless clean and best equipped kitchen: a very nice place. Only I think it is better visited in Summer because we were freezing quite a bit in our cabin with only one little heater. But the whole thing was so nice we didn't complain too much about it!
